Book Synopsis

''There''s only been one time that Rose couldn''t stop me from doing the wrong thing and that was a mistake that will haunt me for the rest of my life.''

Fern Castle works in her local library. She has dinner with her twin sister Rose three nights a week. And she avoids crowds, bright lights and loud noises as much as possible. Fern has a carefully structured life and disrupting her routine can be . . . dangerous.

When Rose discovers that she cannot fall pregnant, Fern sees her chance to pay her sister back for everything Rose has done for her. Fern can have a baby for Rose. She just needs to find a father. Simple.

Fern''s mission will shake the foundations of the life she has carefully built for herself and stir up dark secrets that she long thought were buried.

I absolutely loved The Good Sister. Fern is such a wonderful character. The crossover of uplit and psychological suspense is so successful. I found it immensely enjoyable, heart-warming and satisfying. Sally Hepworth is a brilliant writer * Emma Curtis, bestselling author of Keep Her Quiet *
No one writes domestic suspense like Sally Hepworth. The Good Sister is the perfect blend of suspense and heart * Kelly Rimmer, bestselling author of Truths I Never Told You *
Compelling story, plenty of twists and a satisfying ending. Sally is an exceptional observer of people and their relationships * Graeme Simsion, author of The Rosie Result *
Absolutely stunning * Heather Gudenkauf, New York Times bestselling author of The Weight Without Silence *
Sally keeps getting better and better. The Good Sister is the perfect blend of suspense, twists and richly drawn characters that will have you loving or hating them * Heidi Perks, bestselling author of The Whispers *
An utterly compelling emotional mystery, with beautifully realised characters and a delicious dark twist. I loved it! * Adele Parks *
I was utterly enthralled as I always am with Sally Hepworth's extraordinary novels. I loved the way my feelings for the two sisters grew and changed and twisted throughout the read as I got to know them more and towards the end there was no way I was putting that book down! * Nicola Moriarty *
A stunningly clever thriller made doubly suspenseful by not one, but two unreliable narrators * People (Australia), Book of the Week *
A captivating story with utterly convincing characters. A sense of threat lurks quietly in the background throughout, making this both a satisfying and chilling read * Rachel Abbott, bestselling author of Close Your Eyes *
This is a very sensitively told story, not afraid to pull its punches right to the final page * Daily Mail *
A riveting page-turner that asks when noble support become manipulation * Woman’s Weekly *
If you loved The Family Next Door and The Mother-in-Law you'll be glued to her latest twisty drama. Read it, then breathe again!' * Peterborough Telegraph *
Incredibly sweet and utterly shocking, this domestic thriller compels from the very first page * Heat *
A delicious baked Alaska of a novel: sweet and warm with an icy chill at the centre * Saga Magazine *
A riveting page-turner * Woman *
A gripping, thoroughly original and sinuously twisting shocker * Independent.ie *
An intelligent, emotional and quirky story rooted in a dark, suspenseful thriller about an ugly truth and secret manipulations. Truly unique * Platinum *
